Tornadoes
A tornado is a destructive whirling wind shaped as a funnel that progresses over the land. Some famous tornadoes were the Waco Tornado in 1953, the Palm Sunday tornado in 1965, and the New Richmond tornado in 1899. Tornadoes can easily knock over houses and destroy everything in its path. The worst hurricanes occur in the United States and each only lasts for a few minutes.
The tornado affects the ecosystem greatly. It destroys plants, their animal's habitats, and can kill animals. It also destroys trees. It doesn't seem that those trees matter, but they are the thing that keeps us alive. They create oxygen which keeps us alive to breathe, live, eat and sleep. It could remove a food source for organisms, which could cause the death of more species of animals.
